Sermorelin

A GHRH analog with the longest clinical history of any GH-axis peptide. Currently compoundable in the U.S. (a separate regulatory status from the Category 2 group). Relevant to women for body composition, sleep, and recovery in midlife.

Anthivera’s calibrated five-tier scale — what the strongest evidence on Sermorelin actually supports today.

1. Preclinical
2. Limited clinicalSermorelin
3. Multiple human studies
4. Phase 3
5. FDA-approved

Limited clinical: Small open-label or case-report data in humans.

1. 01What evidence is there for Sermorelin in women specifically — and does that include perimenopausal or postmenopausal cohorts?
2. 02What is the current FDA regulatory status, and which compounding pharmacy will my prescription go through?
3. 03What baseline labs do you require before starting, and how often do you monitor?
4. 04What are the realistic timelines and what does “not working for you” look like in practice?
